Java Program to Find the Area of Trapezium
Last Updated :

A trapezium is a convex quadrilateral, which has only two parallel sides and the other two sides are non-parallel. The non-parallel sides of the trapezium are referred to as its legs while the parallel sides are called the bases. It is also called a trapezoid. A parallelogram is also often referred to as a trapezoid with two parallel sides.
In the figure below, AB and DC are parallel to each other while AD and BC are the non-parallel sides. ‘h’ is also the distance that indicates the height of the trapezium between the two parallel sides.
Area of trapezium:
Area = 1/2*(sum of parallel sides)*height of the trapezium
Example:
Input : base1 = 3, base2 = 4, height = 6
Output: area = 21
Input : base1 = 5, base2 = 7, height = 3
Output: area = 18
Approach:
- Take three input as two bases of the trapezium and height.
- Apply the area of the trapezium formula to calculate the area.
- Print the area.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
Java
import java.io.*;
class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
double base_1 = 10.00 ;
double base_2 = 20.00 ;
double height = 50.00 ;
double area_of_trapezium
= ((base_1 + base_2) * height) / 2 ;
System.out.println( "Area of trapezium:"
+ area_of_trapezium);
}
}
|
Output
Area of trapezium:750.0
Time complexity: O(1) // since performing constant operations
Space complexity: O(1)
